February 12: Matthew 17, Leviticus 7, Leviticus 8, Leviticus 9 (click on the chapter to begin reading)
Matthew 17 begins with the transfiguration. Then the disciples try to heal a boy with epilepsy but fail. Jesus heals him immediately. The disciples could not do it because they had so little faith. Jesus also predicts his death, and the tax collectors come to Peter to collect the temple tax. Jesus solves this by telling peter to go fishing and from the first fish he catches he will take the four drachma coin swallowed by the fish. That did take care of the tax for both Peter and Jesus.
Leviticus 7 defines the guilt offering and the peace(fellowship) offering. It furthermore forbids the people to eat fat or blood. In a fellowship offering the priest must get his share, and the share is specified.
Leviticus 8 goes into some length how the ordination of Aaron and his sons was done.
In Leviticus 9 the priestly ministry begins.
